Massimo Marino is a scientist envisioning science fiction. Large enough to have a spaceship travel through? It depends it depends on the amount of energy achievable to create the bridge.Īnd this closes the loop, as a rotating Kerr black hole might actually be the source.Ī vision from 1933 brought the Daimones to visit, study, and decide about the future of the race of men. And the work of many others on the behaviour of quantized fields demonstrated that quantum field effects could indeed hold open a macroscopic wormhole. In order to stabilise wormholes opening, quantum fluctuations in various fields might be able to just do that. Holman, professor of physics at Carnegie Mellon, explained this in an interview with Scientific American. Two researchers at CalTec, Yurtsever and Thorne, found that the equations dictate that in order for an artificial wormhole to be held open, its throat must be threaded by some form of matter, or some form of field, that exerts negative pressure, and antigravity associated with it.
Indeed, Einstein himself, working at Princeton with Nathan Rosen in the 1930s, discovered that the equations represent a black hole as a bridge between two regions of flat space-time, the phenomenon known since then as the “Einstein-Rosen bridge.” Another property of black holes, ignored by everyone except very few top level mathematicians and physicists, is that a black hole always has two “ends,” a black one and a white one, the exit side into another (location of the) universe.Īnother problem that the computer simulation revealed is that in order to traverse an Einstein-Rosen bridge from one universe to the other, a traveller would have to move faster than light at some stage of the journey, and that would violate one Einstein himself, unless… Could, thus, these bridges be used for interstellar travels? Less than a year after Einstein had formulated his equations of the general theory, the Austrian Ludwig Flamm realised that a solution to Einstein’s equations described a wormhole connecting two regions of flat spacetime two universes, or two parts of the same universe. There’s no empirical proof that a wormhole can hold its promises, and a computer simulation’s run in 1998 raised doubts in that the computer couldn’t find conditions to keep the wormhole stable, i.e., open.
